I'm trying to create this encryption method for puzzles (nothing super secret, just those cryptograms), but this seems to time out, can anybody point out what I'm doing wrong here: for ($i=1;$i<=26;$i++) { $normalAlphabet[$i] = chr($i); } //now, to shuffle for ($j=1;$j<=26;$j++) { do { $k = rand(1,26); } while ($k == $j || (strlen(trim($normalAlphabet[$k])) === 0)); $arEncryptedAlphabet[$j] = $normalAlphabet[$k]; $normalAlphabet[$k] = ""; } $arNormalString = str_split($normalzedString); $encryptedString = ""; for ($i=0;$i<count($arNormalString);$i++) { if (ord($arNormalString[$i])>=65 && ord($arNormalString[$i])<=90) { $encryptedString = $encryptedString . $arEncryptedAlphabet[ord($arNormalString[$i]) - 64]; } else { $encryptedString = $encryptedString . $arNormalString[$i]; } } return $encryptedString; }
